被试完成了一项序列反应时间(RT)任务(采用MJ Nissen和P.Bullemer,1987),其中包含一个重复的空间位置模式。在实验1中,重复20次10或16个元素的模式,当序列变得随机时,年轻人和老年人的RT都受到了同样的破坏。在实验2中,学生遇到10个元素的模式的反应时间进行了比较,与那些学生遇到一个随机序列。这些反应时间函数在训练中的同一点为2个年龄组的分歧。因此,在这种间接的反应时间促进措施,这两个实验揭示了年龄相似的模式学习的速度。相反,在随后的需要预测的模式学习直接测试中,年轻人在两个实验中的正确率都高于老年人。直接和间接的学习措施和记忆受损的人口比较之间的相关的分离进行了讨论。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2016阿帕,保留所有权利)
Ss performed a serial reaction time (RT) task (adopted from MJ Nissen and P. Bullemer, 1987) that contained a repeating pattern of spatial locations. In Exp 1, following 20 repetitions of a 10-or 16-element pattern, RT was equally disrupted for both younger and older people when the sequence became random. In Exp 2, the response times for Ss encountering the 10-element pattern were compared with those of Ss encountering a random sequence. These response time functions diverged at the same point in training for the 2 age groups. Thus, on this indirect measure of response time facilitation, both experiments revealed age similarity in the rate of pattern learning. In contrast, on a subsequent direct test of pattern learning that required prediction, the younger people earned a higher percentage correct score than the older in both experiments. Age-related dissociations between direct and indirect measures of learning and comparisons with memory-impaired populations are discussed.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
